I thanked the lads at the time but can I more formally say a big thank you to The Little Big Band.

All generations from 18 months to 95 were present and all got on the dance floor at some point in the evening.

We can’t thank you enough for your outstanding performance at our wedding on 31st May. You were the perfect end to the perfect day. Anna and Steve – you were an absolute delight to deal with and we are already trying to find a reason to book you again in the future. We have passed your details on to a couple of people already and we will continue to sing your praises to anyone that asks. It was great to see the guys performing at the Pigalle and we are looking forward to going back in August.
Simon & Gabbie, Wedding, Painshill Park, 31st May

I just wanted to thank you so much for playing at our wedding on the 12th July. I always knew that you would be just great and you were! I enjoyed dancing to your music so much, and so did everyone else. The dance floor seemed to be packed all night (when you were playing) and lots of people have said how much they enjoyed it. I only wish that I could remember it all abit better-the whole day passed in a bit of a blur! I will just have to come and see you play next time that you are in london. In the meantime I have your CD which I play every now and again to remind me of the day!

Thank you so so much

probably a much smaller venue than they are used to playing at they
still gave it their all and had all ages up dancing and swinging
themselves around the dance floor. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all'
